He Sleeps Lightly

He sleeps lightly While she doesn't know where to go These streets will take her anywhere but home He sleeps lightly While she is all alone Her skin doesn't feel the same as it did, an hour ago An hour ago A day of work don't mean nothing to her Cause she's been working a leap Since she was born But her house has gone cold The walls growing old She's dying to leave But she's never felt so tone She can't tell her mother That it happened all the time Cause with all the pain it's causing, Telling her would be a crime Well, he sleeps lightly He sleeps lightly He sleeps lightly, at night There's nothing more to say when all has been said She did all she could until his face went red Put your clothes on, darling, grab your coat And go out the door What are you still here for, When all you've said has been ignored? She can't tell her mother That it happened all the time Cause with all the pain it's causing, Telling her would be a crime Well, he sleeps lightly He sleeps lightly He sleeps lightly, at night She can't tell her mother That it happened all the time Ohh,-ohh Cause with all the pain it's causing, Telling her would be a crime Ohh-oh oh oh Well, he sleeps lightly He sleeps lightly She weeps lightly, at night
